https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=85733 Opened by carniz@spray.se (Mikael Carneholm) on 2003-03-06 12:59 Description of Problem: There's a redundant (non-hierarcical) path when adding a program starter to the panel. This makes the menu unneccessarily big, as it could be "normalized" down using a common parent menu item for "Add starter.." and "Add starter from menu". I.e, instead of Add to panel ->Program starter ->Program starter from menu it could be Add to panel ->Program starter ->From menu ->Other.. (replacing current "Program starter.." item) Additional Information: If someone would argue that this will result in too many submenu levels, I have a suggestion that should be considered anyway: let's replace the "menu"-way of adding starters & applets to the panel with a stand-alone wizard or panel customizer program instead. That would eliminate long & complicated navigating through menus and reduce the menu items in the popup menu to just "Customize" (starts the customizer/wizard), "Properties", "New panel" + "Help" & "About" items. Just my 2 usability euro cents.
This is somewhat related to bug #75103.
We have an "Add to Panel" dialog instead of the menu now
